spring project: paper nests


Last week we did two whole art projects with a springy theme....
two!
I decided I need to get back to my Wednesday art projects.
Last school year, every Wednesday was a craft project and it's been way more sporadic this year. I've decided that to make things happen, you have to be intentional...make it happen!

So, after this post I'm searching for another Wednesday project to do....okay, where was I?




Oh yes, the project....
paper bag nests.
Cute, no?!
Before you start thinking I'm super inventive and crafty, I'll let you know right now this project is from the April issue of Country Living.
Great mag...do you subscribe to it? If not, you totally should :)

Moving on again...what you need:

a glue water mixture


and lots of shredded paper bags

what to do:





cover a little more thoroughly than the picture above :)







That's all I've got today, peeps.

Oh Peeps...do you eat those at Easter time?
I personally do not, but I know many cool people that do...
I'm more of a Cadbury Egg person, but hey...to each his own Easter candy right?

Have a good one, sistas!

Hi Alicia! I also subscribe to Country Living, and these nests caught my eye too! Yours turned out great! The nests look particularly lovely sitting next to your brown transferware. What a beautiful spring vignette!

Super cute! I might have to try this one with my kidlets. Peeps are a no go for me.

They turned out great and my girls are always up for something that involves getting their hands a little messy!

They look beautiful! I get the UK Country Living, which i love, but it doesn't have craft projects in it.

I've left you a blog award over at my blog, because yours is awesome xxx
